Week 6: By the light of the silvery... lampost.

This is a street corner I often pass, and it struck me that the glow of the lamps at night is extremely warm, as are most of the street lighting we tend to encounter (and thanks to this class now I know why!). 

It's difficult to capture on film, and so diffused that it's actually far less bright than one might think. Obviously the goal of it is visibility, but considering it in a theatrical setting (replicating it with the idea of imitation and visibility intertwined) means that I imagine it would be a difficult trade off - the effect would need fill in order to make detail visible over a larger part of the stage (assuming you wanted it to be visible).

  1. Nice work - great observations on what the light is doing and what might need ton be done to translate it to the stage
